bon on their breasts handed every per-
son who entered the hall a copy of
the incendiary proclamation which was
distributed the streets the latter part of
last week. and which sent in these dis
patches at the time, declaring that the con
demned Anarchists should never be executed.
Many women were in the nall and they all wore
red ribbons and affected the red Anarchist
colors in their dresses. There were fifty police
scattered about the hall The notes
OF the "Marseillaise" were struck
up by the band and prolonged
wild cheer followed. The music was drowned
by the noise. The pictures of the doomed bomb
throwers looked down from the front of the
platform They draped with red and
